I was wrong about CMC

I really don't think he sandbagged here. We were never in contention, and if we were, he would have suited up more than he did his last two years here.

And he's hurt because he is used and worked more than anyone at the position. Dude has more mileage on his body than just about anyone else in the league not named Derek Henry.

He's broken the 400 touches threshold twice, which is a death sentence for a RB's next season, and both seasons post 400 touches he was injured, imagine that.

He's an elite talent but he's overworked.

This is why you don't overpay RBs.

 

Low shelf life and not much impact unless they are surrounded by a great roster.

 

Saquan was nothing in NY. The moment he got on a good roster his talent become more noticeable. He's now in the MVP conversation just like CMC.

Thank you. It's annoying because anytime load management has been suggested with CMC folks act like that's not a thing in the NFL and his usage is normal. But when the guy pulls a hamstring after playing 98% of the snaps week in and out he's "injury prone"

At some point CMC is going to need to switch to WR if he wants to continue playing and avoiding injury. The hits just add up playing RB but CMC could be a top 5 slot WR in the NFL if he chose to go that route. He could easily extend his career buy 3 or 4 years if he makes the switch.

He never sandbagged here, he was just the only thing we had going and we used him to the point of breakage.

Same thing happened in San Fran.

Dude has left it all out there on the field and has whooped all challengers except for two: Wear and Tear.

He's the Luke Kuechly of running backs and I hope he'll get his HoF bid on the first round, too.

Maybe as a RB, but I always said that when his RB days are behind him, he’s going to turn into a great slot WR and stick around in the league well into his mid 30’s

Hes now had 2 major non contact injuries.  He's done.  A position change won't take away the beating he has taken

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
